Your Saturday morning time waster: A Handy Guide to Newspapers

2. The Washington Post is read by people who THINK they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they SHOULD run the country, and who are very good
at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand
The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could find
the time--and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of
it, thank you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't
really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running the country as long as they do
something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores.

10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure if there is a country or that
anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional
exceptions if the leaders are handicapped, minority, feminist, atheist dwarfs who also happen to be
illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy; provided of course, that they are not Republicans.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

12. The Key West Citizen is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to
wrap it in.
